Shot and bleeding, Sanchez tried to go back inside his home, police said. He was taken to University Medical Center, where he died.

Two of his four sons — both minors — saw it happen, a family member told the Review-Journal Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Metro released the reason officers showed up at Sanchez’s home that night: A vehicle parked out front matched the description of one that left the scene of a robbery just 15 minutes earlier, at a Chuck E. Cheese about seven miles south, at 350 N. Nellis Blvd. When officers arrived at the home, three people were standing around the car, police said in a news release.

As officers were trying to take those three people into custody that is when police said Sanchez came outside his front door, facing the commotion, armed.

As of Wednesday night, it was unclear whether the three people outside Sanchez’s home were related to him or knew him. Police have not confirmed whether those people were arrested or are still in custody.
